I never could understood the update wizard...
I remember several cases that the update wizard never updated my  
database...

But may be in can show a couple of checkboxes...

But I do think we can out experimental features in core and switch
them off or on and let the community decide if teh feature works or not,
many project do it like that... including myself in some projects.

That way the core just needs to make sure that the feature doesn't  
crash current websites when it's turned off,
and when turned on many many many people can test it and can report  
bugs back.

This because i think not many users will really test patches on  
bugtrack,
unless they are technical and really really need it technical and  
brave...

It will also speedup additional new features in typo3 core and make  
them bug
free quite fast. That if the core team want's that...

Just my humble opinion...
